Lancashire Fire & Rescue prescribe immediate remedial action, and an injury claim from a dark stairwell evacuation is catastrophic for your insurance and personal exposure. Request a quote ### Free written estimate within 24 hours. No-obligation, fixed-price quote with the certificate detail included. What happens if you delay ## The cost of putting it off. Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented. - 1 Original-fit fluorescent emergency lighting fails its 3-hour test within 4 years, replacement is mandatory, not optional. - 2 Missing maintained signage at every change of escape-route direction is the most common FRA finding. - 3 Cheap luminaires fail to deliver the BS 5266 1-lux minimum on the floor of the escape route, failing the design before the build even starts. - 4 Open-area illumination missed entirely, you need both escape-route lighting AND open-area lighting in rooms over 60m². - 5 No periodic test log = automatic enforcement notice, regardless of the actual lighting condition. Our process ## A five-step system, no surprises. 1. Step 1 ### On-site inspection We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call. 2. Step 2 ### Written diagnosis & fixed quote You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises. 3. Step 3 ### Scheduled installation Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board. 4. Step 4 ### Testing & certification Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal. 5. Step 5 ### Aftercare & 12-month guarantee 12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting. Benefits ## What you actually get. ### Designed to BS 5266 1-lux escape-route, 0.5-lux open-area, 15-lux high-risk task lighting, calculated from a survey, not guessed. ### Modern LED, 5+ year battery Modern LiFePO4 batteries last 5+ years vs 2–4 for nicad, fewer replacement cycles, lower lifecycle cost. ### Self-testing option Self-testing luminaires log monthly and annual tests automatically, eliminates manual test errors and missed dates. ### Full commission certificate BS 5266 commission certificate plus annual test log, exactly what FRS and your insurer require. ### Combined with FRA We can deliver the Fire Risk Assessment alongside the install for one coordinated compliance package. ### Reactive replacement cover Any failed luminaire under contract replaced within 5 working days, never longer than one missed test cycle. Specification & method ## How we deliver, in detail. We design to BS 5266-1:2016 with isolux calculations, install to BS 7671 fire-rated cabling standards, and commission with timed 3-hour discharge tests before sign-off. ### Materials & equipment - Channel, Eaton, Aurora and Bell self-contained LED emergency luminaires with LiFePO4 battery - Slim LED maintained exit signs, surface or recessed - Self-testing variants with on-board test logging where the maintenance regime needs it - FP200 fire-rated cable on all emergency lighting circuits ### Method & standards - Isolux calculation per BS 5266 to confirm 1-lux/0.5-lux/15-lux compliance before quoting - Combined escape-route, open-area, anti-panic, high-risk and stand-by lighting categories specified separately - 3-hour discharge test on commission, plus monthly 5-second functional tests and annual full discharge thereafter - Test log issued in branded BS 5266 logbook on every site ### Variations of this service - Self-contained (battery in each luminaire), most common, lowest install cost - Central battery (CBS) for large sites where battery centralisation simplifies maintenance - Maintained (always on) for exit signs and high-occupancy areas - Non-maintained (only on during mains failure) for escape routes ### Where it applies on the Fylde Coast - HMOs in Blackpool, typically 6–10 luminaires plus maintained exit signs at each escape door - Hotels and guest houses, extended coverage including bedroom-corridor escape routes - Retail and hospitality on Bond Street and Cleveleys promenade, anti-panic + escape route - Industrial units in Squires Gate, high-risk task lighting at moving machinery plus escape route ### Residential vs commercial Domestic emergency lighting (in HMOs specifically) is typically a small self-contained install. Commercial scales to dozens of luminaires across multiple escape routes, anti-panic zones and high-risk task areas, with formal isolux design calculations and 3-hour discharge testing on commission. ### Related services - [Fire Alarm Installation & Maintenance ](/services/fire-alarm-installation-maintenance) - [Commercial Electrical Installation & Testing ](/services/commercial-electrical-installation-testing) - [LED Lighting Upgrades ](/services/led-lighting-upgrades) #### Useful links - [Northern Tec homepage](/) - [Service areas we cover](/service-areas) - [Verified client reviews](/reviews) - [Request a free estimate](/contact) Our work ## A wider look at recent Northern Tec projects.

Not seeing your question? Call us on [01253 272 451](tel:01253272451). How often does emergency lighting need testing? Monthly: a 5-second functional test of every luminaire. Annually: a full 3-hour discharge test of every luminaire. Both must be logged in your BS 5266 logbook. When do batteries need replacing? Do I need exit signs?
